prologue

With her legs swinging as she sits on the edge of a building, Ladybug looks out at the Paris landscape illuminated in the dark night. She smiles, a light breeze ruffling her pigtails as she leans back to stare at the sky.

She catches a glimpse of a shadow moving towards her, leaping over the rooftops. In a few seconds, there's a thump beside her as Chat Noir lands on all fours and grins.

"Didn't know ladybugs ventured out at night m'lady," he says with a wink, "but I'mm glad to see you."

"Me too Chat, I missed you," she replies, leaning into him after he sits down.

"Tell me about it, I had a terrible day! There's this girl in my class who just hates me. To be fair, I tease her too, but she hated me the moment she laid eyes on me."

"That's silly, who could ever hate you kitty? You're so sweet and charming!"

"You'd be surprised. Think she's just a sour person."

"Don't be so worried about what one person thinks Chat! I love you and think you're great. She's just missing out. I'm jealous, she gets to know a whole other part of you that I can't."

"I mean, you could..."

"You know the rules Chat, it would only endanger us more. We can't, not at least until Hawkmoth is defeated. But we're no closer to finding him," Ladybug frowns, "an he's getting a lot stronger these days."

"Or you're just getting weaker," Chat teases, nudging her gently with his elbow, "but seriously bugaboo, you worry too much. Everything will work out when we have each other by our sides. If anyone's a powercouple it's us! Literally!"

Ladybug giggles, looking at Chat adoringly while she wraps her arm around him, pulling herself closer to him.

"I can't wait to get to know every part of your life, I'm sure I'll love who you are in everyday life," she says, closing her eyes as she leans her head on his shoulder.

"Me too. I wonder if we already know each other?"

"It's unlikely. But when we do meet, I'm sure we'll get on right away. After all, we're fated to be in love."

"Who the hell do you think you are?" Marinette scowls, brushing her black fringe out of her face, "this is the third time you'e just taken my notes without asking! This week, might I add!"

"Well it's not like you'll agree if I ask to borrow them! I was busy at a shoot and needed to catch up and you take the best notes," Adrien counters, crossing his arms while his bright green eyes stare down at her mischievously, "it's not like you even missed them! You just caught me returning them. Besides, you should take it as a compliment. You take great notes."

"That's not the point! You can't just take people's things without asking them first you. It's not my fault you were at a shoot, if you can't handle that and school then you're just gonna have to spend less time staring at a camera and more at your textbooks! Stop acting like a mop-head and-"

"Wait, did you just use mop-head as an insult?" Adrien cuts her off, smirking before bursting out laughing, "oh cupcake, you're so innocent."

"Stop calling me that! And is that seriously what you're taking out of this conversation?"

"I wouldn't really call it a conversation. I'm just defending my brilliant reputation here, I am famous for being a perfect boy. I was just returning your notes anyway!"

"Brilliant? Ha! As if! As for the perfect, the only thing you're perfect at is being an arrogant mop-head!"

"Sticking with mop-head are we cupcake?"

"Don't call me cupcake!"

"True, they're too sweet. You're more like a lemon, but it just doesn't have the same ring to it."

Marinette glares at him, hands curling into fists. This boy just drives her absolutely insane and there's no other way to describe it. He knows what buttons to push to get her all riled up, flustered and frustrated. Ever since he joined the school he's been painful. Teaming up with Chloe to put gum on her seat she could handle, but after that his attitude only got worse. Everyone thinks the brilliant Adrien is so kind, handsome, smart, funny and sweet - even her best friend Alya - but she knows the real Adrien;

and he's nothing like her boy.
